Leaxe may permit or refuse your request to book or list a vehicle in its sole and absolute discretion. Leaxe may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to ensure the safety of vehicles shared through the Services.

Fees, taxes

Fees

The fees we charge for using the Services and other cost structures will be itemized at checkout for guests. You can verify the amount for your trip at checkout before you submit your trip request. Hosts can view earnings on the Dashboard and learn more about earnings. When you provide Leaxe a payment method, you authorize Leaxe, or third-party service providers acting on behalf of Leaxe, to store your payment credential for future use in the event you owe Leaxe any money. You authorize Leaxe to use stored payment credentials for balances, including for trip costs, host fees and guest fees (e.g., late fees, security deposits, processing fees and claims costs, and related administrative fees). In some cases, our payment processors have arrangements with card networks to automatically update stored payment credentials whenever you receive a new card (e.g., replacing an expired card or one that was reported lost or stolen) and we will rely on such updates to stored payment credentials for balances.

Collection of fees

Leaxe and its service providers will employ all legal methods available to collect amounts due, including the engagement of collection agencies or legal counsel. Leaxe, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your Leaxe Account to credit bureaus. As a result, late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Leaxe Account may be reflected in your credit report. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts or chargebacks will be charged with fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts or chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees, convenience fees, and/or other third party charges. If you wish to dispute the information a collection agency reported to a credit bureau regarding your Leaxe Account, you must contact the collection agency directly.

Taxes

In certain jurisdictions, Leaxe may enable the collection and remittance of certain taxes from or on behalf of guests or hosts, based on existing and future tax regulations, including marketplace facilitator or recreational vehicle sharing regulations. The amount of taxes, if any, collected and remitted by Leaxe will be visible to, and separately stated, to both guests and hosts on their respective trip related documents and invoices. Where Leaxe is facilitating the collection and remittance of taxes, hosts are not permitted to collect the same taxes on the Services in relation to their vehicle sharing in that jurisdiction.

Communications with you. In order to contact you more efficiently, you agree that we may at times contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls or text messages at your phone number(s). We may place such calls or texts primarily to confirm your signup, provide notices regarding your Leaxe Account or Leaxe Account activity, investigate or prevent fraud, collect a debt owed to us, or communicate urgent messages.

Non-disparagement. The Parties agree that they will not take any action that will harm the reputation of the other Party, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to either of the other Party.

Insurance and protection plans. Leaxe is not an insurance company and does not insure hosts or guests. Host and guest protection plans made available through the Services are in no way related. To be eligible for the benefits of a protection plan, hosts and guests must comply with these Terms.

Specific terms for guests

The following sections also apply if you book a vehicle using the Services:

Guest commitments

As a guest, you commit that you will be a legally licensed driver and provide proof to the host of a current, valid driver’s license. You will treat the vehicle and any applicable extras well and will take all reasonable measures to return the vehicle and any applicable extras on time and in essentially the same condition as received. You will not allow anyone other than a person listed in the trip details as an Approved Driver to drive/navigate the vehicle you booked.

Guest financial responsibility for physical damage to the vehicle

The guest that booked the trip (“primary guest”) is financially responsible for all physical damage to or theft of a booked vehicle that occurs during a trip, plus any additional costs and fees resulting from damage of any kind to the vehicle, regardless of who is found to be at fault. This responsibility applies whether the primary guest has their own insurance or not.

Primary guests may be insured against damage to the booked vehicle under their own policies. When you book a vehicle on Leaxe, you agree that if any damage occurs to the booked vehicle during the booked trip, you will work with Leaxe to make a claim for coverage under any policy of insurance that applies to the loss.

The primary guest can limit the amount they are obligated to pay out of their own pocket in the event there is damage to the booked vehicle during the booked trip by contacting their insurance provider. The limitation on the amount a primary guest may have to pay out of pocket included in any protection plan only applies (1) if the primary guest and any Approved Driver abide by these Terms and (2) to physical damage that is not mechanical or interior damage.

Recreational vehicle liability insurance

Most hosts offering a vehicle for sharing on the Services cannot offer liability insurance to you. All protection plans offered on the Services include coverage under an automobile liability insurance policy. In the US, the policy is issued to Leaxe by XINSURANCE and does not provide a defense or indemnification for any claim asserted by Leaxe.

If the guest has their own personal recreational vehicle policy, it will be primary over the Leaxe protection depending on various factors such as applicable laws, where the guest books the vehicle, and/or where the accident or damages occur. Terms and exclusions apply.

Booking with Commercial Hosts

Where a host can offer guests at least legally required minimum insurance through their own commercial or rental policy. We refer to these hosts as “Commercial Hosts.” You can determine directly in the vehicle listing whether the vehicle is offered by a Commercial Host.

If you book with a Commercial Host, no third-party automobile liability insurance, financial responsibility limitations for physical damage, or roadside assistance is made available via the Services by Leaxe or any third-party insurance partners, brokers, or producers. The Commercial Host will bill you directly for any applicable protection plan after booking, not through the Services. In these circumstances, a Commercial Host may require you to sign additional paperwork, provide a deposit, or pay additional fees, costs, or taxes after booking, for instance when picking up the vehicle. A Commercial Host may also have additional requirements that differ from Leaxe requirements (like requiring a credit card deposit). By booking a vehicle where a Commercial Host is providing protection, you agree that the Commercial Host may impose additional terms and fees after booking.

Use of the vehicle

When you book a vehicle on the Services, you must use the vehicle only for your personal use and not for any commercial purposes. You may not access a vehicle until the trip start time and you must return the vehicle on time and to the correct location. You must present the host with a current, valid driver’s license. You must exercise reasonable care in your use of the vehicle. You are required at all times to operate the vehicle safely, and in compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation, speed limits and prohibitions on impaired or distracted driving. In the event Leaxe has any concern about your use of a vehicle, Leaxe may terminate your trip in its discretion at any time and require the return of the vehicle, including recovering the vehicle on behalf of the host. You are required to wear seat belts, government approved helmet or life-jackets during the operation of the vehicle and to require that all of your passengers follow the same rules and or regulations. You are also required to meet any laws or regulations concerning child safety and other protections for children. You must not leave the vehicles unlocked, unprotected or with the keys unsecure (such as in the ignition). You must not engage in any prohibited uses with any vehicle you book through the Services. The prohibited uses list is not meant to be exhaustive. If you have any concerns about your planned use, please contact Leaxe. If you misuse a vehicle, you will be fully financially responsible for any related claims, loss, or damage, and your protection plan may be voided. Guests also acknowledge that using a vehicle in a prohibited manner or otherwise breaching the Agreement may lower available liability coverage to legal minimum limits, or nullify coverage, and may furthermore nullify any comprehensive or collision protection and/or protection plan where allowed by applicable law.

Condition of the vehicle and optional Extras

You understand that third parties own the vehicles and other extras offered through the Services. Each host is responsible for complying with all legal requirements (including ensuring the vehicle is registered and insured) and maintaining their vehicle(s) in safe and roadworthy condition. Please complete a visual inspection before you begin your use of the vehicle. If you find damage in your initial inspection, you should obtain photos of such pre-existing damage at the start of your reservation as described to ensure you are not held responsible for pre-existing damage. If you find damage on your initial inspection and fail to report it, Leaxe, third-party administrators, or insurance partners, may assume that the damage occurred during your reservation period. If, after your initial inspection, you believe that the vehicle is not safe to drive, please do not use the vehicle; instead, please contact the Leaxe team immediately.

No responsibility for shared vehicles

You acknowledge that Leaxe is not responsible and shall not be liable for the safety, operational worthiness, or legal status (e.g., whether the vehicle is legally registered or the subject of a stolen vehicle report) of any vehicles shared via the Services beyond our policies that require hosts to ensure their vehicles are in safe and operable condition, legally registered to be used accordingly, not subject to a missing or stolen vehicle report, have a clean title (e.g., non-salvaged/non-branded/non-washed/non-written off), not subject to any applicable safety recalls, and otherwise satisfy our eligibility requirements.

Incident reporting

Where you elected for a protection plan when booking your trip via the Services, you must immediately report any damage to the vehicle you are using to Leaxe. If there has been an accident, you must also make a report to the police. You will need to use all reasonable efforts to secure evidence from any available witnesses and to provide Leaxe or third-party claims administrators with a written description of the incident and any other information requested, including identity and insurance information of any parties involved in the incident. You are also required to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by Leaxe, third party claims administrators, or insurers. After an incident, you may not continue to use the vehicle unless you have the explicit permission of Leaxe staff. Failure to timely report an incident or cooperate in an investigation may reduce or invalidate any protection plan.

Vehicle theft

The following conduct may result in the reporting of the vehicle you have booked as stolen to law enforcement, possibly subjecting you and any other driver to arrest, and civil and/or criminal penalties, and the voiding of your protection plan:

If you fail to return the vehicle you booked at the time and place agreed upon with the host and/or designated in your reservation
If you do not return the vehicle by the end of the reservation period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the reservation through the Services as set forth.
If the vehicle is returned to any place other than the return location on the reservation or agreed upon with the host. Any damage to, or loss or theft of, a vehicle occurring prior to the host inspecting the vehicle upon return at the end of the reservation is the guest’s responsibility
If you misrepresent facts to the host pertaining to booking, use, or operation of vehicle
If the vehicle’s components are stolen or damaged or the vehicle itself is stolen or damaged when the vehicle is left unlocked or running or unattended with the keys not secured during reservation period
If you fail or refuse to communicate in good faith with the host, police, Leaxe, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving the vehicle or otherwise fail to cooperate in the investigation of any accident or vandalism
If the vehicle is operated by anyone who has given a fictitious name, false address, or a false or invalid driver’s license, whose driver’s license becomes invalid during the reservation period, who has obtained the keys without permission of the host, or who misrepresents or withholds facts to/from the host or Leaxe material to the booking, use, or operation of vehicle

The primary guest who books the reservation is responsible for any private investigation costs Leaxe deems necessary to recover a vehicle that is not returned. In addition, a case administration fee will be imposed on the primary guest if Leaxe and/or the host has to report a vehicle as stolen to law enforcement due to it not being returned.

Repossession. Leaxe, a hired agent of Leaxe, or the host may repossess any vehicle booked through the Services without demand, at the guest’s expense, if the vehicle is not returned by the end of the reservation, is found illegally parked, apparently abandoned, or used in violation of applicable law or these Terms.

Missing Vehicles. If a vehicle you have booked through the Services goes missing and/or is stolen during the reservation period (or extension period), you must immediately return the original ignition key to the host, file a police report immediately after discovering the vehicle is missing or stolen, but in no event more than 24 hours after discovering it has gone missing, and cooperate fully with the host, law enforcement, Leaxe, and other authorities in all matters related to the investigation.

Specific terms for hosts

The following sections also apply if you share your vehicle through the Services:

Host commitments

As a host, you commit that you will provide a safe and legally registered and insured vehicle, with current license plates (if applicable), with a clean (non-salvage/branded/written off) title, and in good mechanical condition. You will provide such vehicle on time but only to a guest who is listed on the Services as an Approved Driver for the trip. You commit that your listings will be complete and accurate and you will honor all representations made in your listings, including honoring the price quoted to a guest. You will not cancel a booking for the purpose of seeking a higher price from a guest. You will not offer any vehicle or optional extras that you do not yourself own or have authority to share or that may not be shared for compensation pursuant to the terms and conditions of any agreement with a third party, including, but not limited to, a lease or financing agreement. You will not offer any extras that are not safe, clean, and acceptable for the use it is intended. You will not offer any vehicle that is the subject of a missing or stolen vehicle report. You will not offer any vehicle that is the subject of a safety recall without first properly addressing the matter subject to the recall. You will not offer a vehicle that is not properly working (i.e., not safe to drive or navigate) in the location where it is shared and it will not have any illegal modifications to any part of the vehicle. You will remove any firearms or other weapons from your vehicle prior to providing it to a guest. You will repay loans related to your Leaxe business on time and in full.

Information given at registration

When you sign up for Leaxe, you will identify passenger vehicle(s) that you want to list for sharing. Each vehicle must meet Leaxe’s requirements. You may only use the Services in connection with vehicles that you own or otherwise have all the necessary rights and permissions to share for compensation.

Listing only on the Services

In the United States, any vehicle you list on the Services must be exclusively listed on the Services. You cannot list any vehicles you intend to share on the Services on any other recreational vehicle sharing marketplace. Failure to abide by this condition may result in fines, penalties, denial of physical damage claims, removal of the vehicle from the Services, account closure, or other action, in Leaxe’s sole discretion. This does not limit Commercial Hosts’ (as defined below) ability to maintain their own rental recreational vehicle business or prohibit a vehicle from being listed on ride sharing or other delivery services when not on a Leaxe reservation.

Leaxe photography

Leaxe may offer hosts the option of having photographers take photographs of their vehicles and/or hosts with their vehicles (“Images”). You alone are responsible for using the Images in connection with your Leaxe listing and you agree that you will cease using the Images if they no longer accurately represent your vehicle. You agree that Leaxe is the sole and exclusive owner – or exclusive licensee, as allowed by applicable law – of all right, title, and interest in all copyrights, trademark rights, and any and all other intellectual property rights, including right of publicity, worldwide, in the Images regardless of whether you include them in your listing, and you shall take no action to challenge or object to the validity of such rights or Leaxe’s ownership or registration thereof. You acknowledge that Leaxe may use the Images for advertising, marketing, commercial, and other business purposes in any media or platform, whether in relation to your listing or otherwise, without further notice or compensation. Further, you waive any and all rights to royalties or moral rights you may have in the Images. If you use the Leaxe photography program, you agree that you will not use the Images in connection with sharing your vehicle on any platform, website, or application other than Leaxe. At Leaxe’s request, you will execute documents and take such further acts as Leaxe may reasonably request to assist Leaxe to acquire, perfect, and maintain its intellectual property rights and other legal protection in the Images.

Vehicle availability

Once a trip is booked, you must make the vehicle available or deliver the vehicle as expected by the guest. If you offer the guest the option to pick up your vehicle at a persistent specified location, you must supply the location of the vehicle accurately to Leaxe and ensure that the vehicle is available at that location at the beginning of the reservation period. In order to qualify for available protection plans, you must verify that a prospective guest has a current, valid driver’s license before you provide the guest your vehicle, and ensure the driver’s license matches the name on the reservation and that the person picking up the vehicle appears to match the photograph on a facially valid driver’s license.

Pricing, earnings, and payments

You will have the ability to set and revise the vehicle’s pricing as you choose. Leaxe will pay you the amount collected from guests that book your vehicle, less the applicable fees payable to Leaxe. To the extent you owe Leaxe or any third party lender money for any reason, Leaxe also reserves the right to deduct those amounts from your earnings payment, debit your bank account, charge any of your payment methods on file, and/or send you an invoice.

Payment Processing. In some countries, payment processing services are provided by Stripe and subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement (collectively, the “Stripe Terms”). In countries where you receive payment proceeds via Stripe, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Terms, which may be modified from time to time. As a condition of Leaxe enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you authorize Leaxe to obtain all necessary access and perform all necessary activity on your Stripe Connected Account to facilitate sharing of your vehicle. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information about you, and authorize Leaxe to share it and transaction information with Stripe for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services provided by Stripe. Leaxe reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors at its discretion.

Maintenance

You are required to regularly check your vehicle for any defects in its operations or safety. You promise that, at all times, your vehicle will be in safe and roadworthy condition, in good mechanical condition, and in full compliance with all applicable inspection and registration requirements. You will only list vehicles with a clean, non-salvaged, non-written off, non-washed, and non-branded title. You agree to respond to any applicable recall or similar safety notices and to complete any recommended action before allowing your vehicle to be booked. In addition, if Leaxe believes that your vehicle does not conform to reasonable standards, Leaxe may notify you and reserves the right to remove or decline listing your vehicle until its concerns have been resolved. Leaxe may, but does not commit to, undertake efforts to ensure the safety of vehicles booked through the Services.

Reporting vehicle damage

If you did not decline a protection plan made available via the Services, and you believe that a guest has caused any damage to your vehicle, you are required to report that damage as soon as you become aware of it (and in any event, no more than 24 hours after the scheduled end of the trip) and to provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation of the damage so that it can be eligible for coverage. Based on the investigation, Leaxe or third-party claims administrators will reasonably determine whether the damage occurred during the reservation period and is eligible for coverage. If it was, and you did not decline a protection plan made available via the Services, you will be reimbursed for the loss as described in the sections below. If Leaxe is not given prompt notice as described in this paragraph, or if you do not provide reasonable cooperation in the investigation by Leaxe or third-party claims administrators, we may not be able to determine the cause. In that case, you agree that we may decline any reimbursement or coverage for such damage.

Liability insurance

All host protection plans offered on the Services include coverage under a third-party automobile liability insurance policy. In the US, the policy is issued to Leaxe by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company and does not provide a defense or indemnification for any claim asserted by Leaxe. In the UK, the policy is from Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance UK Ltd., arranged by Aon UK Ltd. In Canada (excluding any of the territories and the provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan), the policy is from Economical Insurance and in British Columbia the policy is from Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.

Physical damage to your vehicle

Physical damage reimbursement (US). The protection plans available to hosts in the US also address the allocation of financial consequences of physical damage to the vehicle offered by a host during a trip. Physical damage contractual reimbursement from Leaxe applies to your vehicle in the event of a collision and to comprehensive events during the trip, and is subject to terms and exclusions.

Actual cash value. If Leaxe, or third-party claims administrators, choose to pay you the actual cash value for your vehicle, you will be required to transfer title to the vehicle to Leaxe or a third party appointed by Leaxe to accept title. The standard for determining the actual cash value will be as determined by Leaxe or its third-party claims administrators and in compliance with applicable law.

Exclusions to physical damage reimbursement and coverage. Protection plans selected by hosts on the Services do not apply to:

Optional extras or personal property, including aftermarket installations (e.g., equipment racks), that are taken from your vehicle or damaged during a trip. Remove all personal property before making your vehicle available for a reservation
Normal wear and tear to your vehicle

If you violate the Agreement, these Terms, or any of our Policies or if you submit inaccurate information about your vehicle when listing it on the Services (for example, falsely represent the make, model, or year of the vehicle), any protection plan you selected will be voided. A protection will be voided under this provision even if the underlying circumstances are not directly related to the damage or harm at issue. You acknowledge that these provisions are material and that they serve to ensure your compliance. In the event your protection plan is voided, the remainder of the Agreement, these Terms, and Policies remain in effect.

Other host-specific insurance matters. You will maintain valid and up to date registration information and proof of insurance in any vehicle you share on the Services. You must maintain your own auto insurance policy for any vehicle you list on the Services and such policy must meet any minimum insurance levels required by law. You agree to provide Leaxe with information regarding your recreational vehicle insurance policy as may be requested and to keep such information up to date. Where not prohibited by law, you hereby appoint Leaxe or a wholly owned subsidiary of Leaxe as your attorney-in-fact for the purpose of filing insurance claims, receiving insurance payment, otherwise administering an applicable insurance policy, and/or working with law enforcement, guests, or private entities to recover your vehicle, as necessary.

Missing vehicles

If you selected a protection plan via the Services and your vehicle goes missing, is not returned, and/or is stolen during the reservation period (or extension period), you, as the host, must immediately contact a Leaxe representative and follow his or her instructions, including cooperating with Leaxe, the police, and any other authorities in all related to the investigation of the theft. If you are instructed by Leaxe to file a police report, you must do so within 24 hours of receiving those instructions.

Additional terms for Commercial Hosts

In exchange for keeping more of the trip price for yourself, when you decline a Leaxe protection package or where no protection package is offered, you waive, on behalf of yourself and any affiliated individuals (including, but not limited to, employees, employers, associates, contractors, or any other related personnel) or entities (whether they be corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, limited liability companies, or otherwise) (collectively, “Affiliates”) any protection plan normally offered via the Services, to you or any Affiliates, your vehicles, and any guests or approved drivers of all of the vehicles you list on Leaxe.

When you choose to provide your own commercial rental insurance in the United States or where no protection or insurance is offered via the Services in your region, you, as the host, or an authorized representative acting on behalf of the host, shall be exclusively responsible for providing commercial rental insurance coverage for any reservation of your vehicles through Leaxe. You shall carry no less than the minimum applicable liability and/or physical damage automobile insurance for your vehicle, your guest, and his/her authorized drivers.

If you lose the ability to offer commercial rental insurance to your guests (for example, your policy has been canceled or nonrenewed), you must immediately change the status of your vehicle. If the change is temporary, you can snooze your vehicle(s). Never let a guest pick up a vehicle or continue to use a vehicle without providing them insurance coverage.

You must disclose on your listing page any applicable additional fees, costs, and/or taxes you assess in addition to other requirements you may impose (such as a security deposit or if you do not accept debit cards, for example). You must never surprise guests with hidden costs or requirements at pick-up. Leaxe reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to default your vehicles to a protection plan of our choice, remove your listings, or suspend your Leaxe Account for failure to be transparent with guests about fees, costs, and requirements in your vehicle listing page.

You acknowledge that the actual damages likely to result from your breach of this section are difficult to estimate accurately and would be difficult for Leaxe to prove with certainty. You will pay Leaxe per breach in liquidated damages to compensate Leaxe for any such conduct. This amount is not intended as a punishment for any such breach, but rather as a reasonable estimate where actual damages are difficult to estimate accurately and/or prove with certainty.

You shall defend, indemnify, and hold Leaxe, its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, and agents, and any of your guests or their authorized drivers, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, costs, expenses, liabilities, attorneys fees, damages, consequential damages, punitive damages, property damage, personal injury, theft or otherwise, without limitation, related to or arising out of any reservation or use of any vehicles, including without limitation, any vehicle damage, personal injury or property damage where you have declined a protection plan made available via the Services or one is not available in your region.

Dispute resolution

Dispute resolution for hosts and guests residing in the United States

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND THEREFORE AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND LEAXE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

Subject to applicable law, the Parties agree that any disputes or claims between us relating in any way to, or arising out of, this or previous versions of these Terms, your use of or access to the Services, or any breach, enforcement, or termination of the Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this.

Pre-arbitration dispute resolution. Should a dispute or claim arise between us, you and Leaxe agree to notify the other Party of the nature of the dispute or claim prior to initiating arbitration, and the Parties will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact us by email. Please provide your name, phone number, email, mailing address, and briefly describe both the nature of your dispute and the relief you would like from Leaxe. If the Parties are unable to resolve the claims described in the notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, then the Party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other Party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with either FairClaims or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as set forth below, pursuant to the FairClaims Rules or AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as appropriate. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the FairClaims website or AAA’s website. (AAA provides a Demand for Arbitration form.) Any settlement offer made by you or Leaxe shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Applicable law. The below Agreement to Arbitrate evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and is therefore governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the applicable procedural rules of FairClaims or AAA, as applicable (see “Arbitration procedures” below). To the extent state law is applicable to the Agreement to Arbitrate, the Parties agree that the substantive law of the state of Arizona will apply, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Agreement to Arbitrate. The Parties each agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies that have arisen or may arise at any time between you and Leaxe (including its respective subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, agents, third-party insurance brokers or products, and third-party claims administrators) will be resolved by binding arbitration according to the procedure set forth below. For the purpose of this Agreement to Arbitrate, “disputes,” “claims,” and “controversies” shall have the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, any and all disputes and/or claims that arise out of or in any way relate to your relationship with Leaxe, including but not limited to: (1) your use of the Services, (2) the Agreement, these Terms and/or this Agreement to Arbitrate, including the interpretation, validity, enforceability, or scope of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or (3) your use of, or access to the Services, and anything sold, offered, or purchased through the Services (such as booking, listing, or sharing a vehicle). Through this Agreement to Arbitrate, and subject to the below exceptions, the Parties intend to arbitrate all disputes or claims regardless of whether they are based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory and regardless of whether they arose or accrued before the Parties entered into this Agreement to Arbitrate. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties expressly agree that this Agreement to Arbitrate encompasses all disputes or claims pertaining to the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Agreement to Arbitrate and any such disputes or claims will be referred to binding arbitration and will be resolved by the arbitrator and not a court.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate The only exceptions to this Agreement to Arbitrate are as follows:

Disputes or claims that can be brought in small claims court
Injunctive or equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a Party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. However, the Parties agree that any court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of any arbitrable claims or issues
Any cause of action or claim for relief which cannot be arbitrated as a matter of applicable statute or public policy. However, the Parties agree that any such court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of any arbitrable claims or issues
In the event California law is found to apply to this Agreement to Arbitrate, any remedy of public injunctive relief (i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public). However, the Parties agree that any such court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of arbitrable claims, causes of action, or issues

Arbitration procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.

The arbitration will be conducted by FairClaims in accordance with its Arbitration Rules and Procedures effective at the time a claim is made. Where the relief sought is $25,000 or less (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), those Arbitration Rules and Procedures may limit the proceeding to a written submission and, if requested or at the arbitrator’s discretion, there may be a live hearing by teleconference or videoconference. Where the relief sought is $25,001 or more (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), those Arbitration Rules and Procedures may provide for limited discovery and streamlined proceedings. In the event FairClaims declines to or is unable to adjudicate the claim, the arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate.

In all cases in which a live hearing is requested or required, you and/or Leaxe may attend by video or phone. To the extent a location must be established for the arbitration, it shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Leaxe user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Where permitted, the Parties agree that all communications, evidence, and rulings in the arbitration will remain confidential, except as reasonably necessary to enforce or implement such rulings or this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Costs of arbitration. If you initiate arbitration proceedings, you will be responsible for certain costs. Where the relief sought is $25,000 or less (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), you will be responsible for the initial filing fee, capped at $375, and Leaxe will cover any additional fees or costs. Where the relief sought is $25,001 or more (not including attorneys’ fees and expenses), you and Leaxe will each pay your own arbitration fees consistent with the rules set by FairClaims (or AAA, as applicable) at the time the claim was made, unless otherwise stated in these Terms.

Severability. With the exception of the provisions in the below section “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief,” if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of the Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in the section “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief” is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of the Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement, these Terms, and dispute resolution section will continue to apply.

Right to opt-out of arbitration; procedure. IF YOU ARE A NEW LEAXE USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO OPT-OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS FOR THE FIRST TIME OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF YOUR FIRST TRIP ON LEAXE AS A GUEST OR HOST, WHICHEVER DATE IS EARLIEST. In order to opt-out, you must email your full name, address (including street address, city, state, and zip/postal code), and email address(es) associated with your Leaxe Account. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other provisions of the Agreement will continue to apply to you, including the below forum selection clause specifying Phoenix, Arizona.

Future amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, the Parties agree that if Leaxe makes any amendment to the Agreement to Arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that you filed against Leaxe prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between the Parties. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within 30 days of our posting or notification and you will not be bound by the amended terms; provided that the Parties will arbitrate any dispute in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement to Arbitrate as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). Once you have submitted a valid Opt-Out Notice to Leaxe, you do NOT need to submit another one when these Terms are subsequently updated. Your first Opt-Out Notice will serve as a valid as to future versions of these Terms.

Judicial forum for legal disputes not subject to arbitration. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, whether (1) as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, (2) as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or (3) if one of the above exceptions to the Agreement to Arbitrate applies, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between the Parties will be resolved exclusively by a state, federal, or small claims court located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Maricopa County, Phoenix, Arizona or a United States District Court for the District of Arizona located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Parties agree that the substantive law of the state of Arizona will apply to any such claim or dispute without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN COURT OR ARBITRATION. UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS, SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE EXCEPTION ALLOWING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF TO BE SOUGHT IN COURT BUT ONLY IF THAT EXCEPTION IS FOUND TO APPLY.

General provisions

Termination

You may discontinue your use of the Services at any time and Leaxe may terminate your access to the Services and remove any listings for any reason or no reason to the extent permissible under applicable law. Termination of access to the Services will not release a Party from any obligations it incurred prior to the termination and Leaxe may retain and continue to use any information, including but not limited to photography, previously provided by you. Termination of the Agreement will not have any effect on the disclaimers, waiver or liability limitations, or legal disputes provisions under the Agreement and/or any fees due, and all of those terms will survive any termination of the Agreement.

No vehicle transfer or assignment

Except as otherwise provided herein, guests and hosts agree that nothing in these Terms constitutes an actual or purported transfer or assignment of any right or interest in a vehicle or optional extras shared through the Services.

Disclaimers

LEAXE PROVIDES SERVICES THAT ENABLE THE SHARING OF VEHICLES AND OPTIONAL EXTRAS BETWEEN HOSTS AND GUESTS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, LEAXE DOES NOT ITSELF PROVIDE VEHICLE SHARING, RENTAL SERVICES, AND/OR INSURANCE SERVICES AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY OF THE USERS OF ITS SERVICES, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE OR ANY OPTIONAL EXTRAS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF SERVICES (E.G. IN-VEHICLE GPS OR OTHER SYSTEMS). THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LEAXE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. Leaxe makes no warranty that the Services, including, but not limited to, the listing and/or any vehicle or optional Extra, will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. Leaxe makes no warranty regarding the quality of any listings, vehicles, hosts, guests, Extras, the Services, or any content or the accuracy, timeliness, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any content obtained through the Services. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Leaxe, Leaxe Insurance Agency, or its service providers or through the Services or content, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.

Limitation of liability and waiver

YOU WAIVE AND DISCHARGE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS YOU HAVE TO SUE OR MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST LEAXE AND ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS (INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATORS, INSURANCE PRODUCERS, AND INSURANCE PROVIDERS), OR EMPLOYEES (TOGETHER, THE “LEAXE PARTIES”) AND ANY LEAXE USER FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHETHER DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOLLOWING: (1) VEHICLE AVAILABILITY (E.G., A VEHICLE NOT BEING AVAILABLE OR RETURNED WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE), (2) PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE (E.G., ANY MALFUNCTION OF OR DEFICIENCY WITH A VEHICLE), (3) VEHICLE WARRANTY ISSUES (E.G., ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER OBLIGATION BY ANY MANUFACTURER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE), (4) THE LEGAL OR LICENSE STATUS OF A VEHICLE, HOST, OR GUEST, (5) THIRD PARTY ASSESSMENTS OF A VEHICLE’S VALUE, OR (6) ANY ACTION OR INACTION OF A HOST OR GUEST.

THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER PROVISIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN LEAXE AND YOU. THEY SHALL APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND ANY ASPECTS OF THEM THAT ARE DEEMED VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE SHALL BE SEVERED WHILE LEAVING THE REMAINDER IN EFFECT.

Indemnification

You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold Leaxe and its subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (1) your access to or use of the Services, (2) your violation of these Terms, (3) your user content, (4) your interaction with any other user of the Services, or (5) your booking of a vehicle or creation of a listing for a vehicle. Such indemnification includes but is not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential, or otherwise) arising in connection with or as a result of a booking, sharing, or use of a vehicle or optional Extra. This indemnification provision is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Leaxe and you. It shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any aspects of it that are deemed unenforceable shall be severed while leaving the remainder in effect.

Liquidated damages

You acknowledge that the actual damages likely to result from your breaches of the Agreement by any of the following are difficult to estimate accurately and would be difficult for Leaxe to prove with certainty: (1) engaging in gray market transactions, as defined in these Terms, (2) using the Leaxe domains, trademarks, or taglines without Leaxe’s express consent, including without limitation registering website domains or social media handles, or bidding on online advertising key words, (3) suing or asserting legal claims against the Leaxe Parties or a Leaxe user in any manner prohibited or waived herein, (4) as a host, sharing your vehicle via the Services with expired registration or without current registration paperwork in the vehicle, (5) as a host, offering any vehicle that is the subject of a missing or stolen vehicle report, (6) as a host, offering any vehicle or releasing a vehicle to a guest that is not roadworthy or is otherwise in an unsafe condition, (7) as a host, cancel or modify a trip to manipulate the price or potential earnings for a vehicle, or (8) creating or using a Leaxe account that has the effect of circumventing Leaxe’s suspension, termination, or closure of another Leaxe account. You will pay Leaxe a set amount per breach in Liquidated Damages to compensate Leaxe for any such conduct. This amount is not intended as a punishment for any such breach, but rather as a reasonable estimate where actual damages are difficult estimate accurately and/or prove with certainty. This liquidated damages provision is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Leaxe and you. It shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any aspects of it that are deemed unenforceable shall be severed while leaving the remainder in effect.

Governing law

The parties agree that the substantive laws of the state of Arizona apply to these Terms and the Agreement without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Severability and non-waiver

In the event any provision of these Terms is held to be void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of any Party to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, or any other provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of these Terms or any part of these Terms, or any right of any Party to enforce that provision or each and every other provision at any time. No waiver of any breach of these Terms shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other breach.

In the case of such Force Majeure Event, the time for performance required by a party under this Agreement will be extended by the length of any period during which performance is prevented by the Force Majeure Event. Furthermore, if such extension interferes with the other party’s ability to perform its obligations, then the time for other party’s performance will also be extended. Notwithstanding the above, if a delay or failure by a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event exceeds forty-five (45) Business Days, any party may terminate this Agreement effective upon ten (10) business days written notice to the other party.

No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power.
